OK, I'll bite, but I won't promise they'll all be new ones. In fact, I think I'll make it an opportunity to dig through my archives.

Mark (blackstrat) > December 19, 2008. Part of the creche exhibit at the Summer Stroll. I'm going to have to limit my comments and posts for a while, as I'm suffering a bout of repetitive stress injury from too much computer time. I'll drop in periodically just to see how you're all doing. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season! You may not hear from me too much, but I'll be lurking!
Mark (blackstrat) > December 15, 2006. Another shot through the window at Yuba City Florist.
Mark (blackstrat) > December 14, 2008. Through the window of a local florist. One of the partners in this business is a really big deal in the world of floral design -- arrangements in the White House, wedding bouquets for foreign heads of state, that sort of thing. All I know is that he knows how to light a window display.
Mark (blackstrat) > December 12, 2008. This is my Mom. I think she looks pretty darned good for 79. I'm not sure I like the propped on the hand pose, but this is the one she likes, so who am I to argue? This was from my first experience with studio lights. It was fun, but I think I need a lot more practice.
Mark (blackstrat) > December 10, 2008. It needs a white horse.
Mark (blackstrat) > December 9, 2008. I'm running late for work, so no lengthy commentary today. This is Mindy, who is due for another face-trimming so she can see again.
Mark (blackstrat) > December 8, 2008. Not very Christmasy, I know. My sister was born on December 15, and we always waited until after her birthday to start decorating, just to make sure she didn't feel cheated, and we've kept it up over the years. It won't keep me from enjoying yours, though. 8) I drove down through the Yuba Goldfields Saturday. The Goldfields are a 15-mile stretch of the Yuba River above Marysville (California) -- thousands of acres of rock and gravel washed down from the mountains from hydraulic mining between 1852 and 1865, when it was outlawed. During that period of time the bed of the Yuba River at Marysville rose more than 65 feet. In that part of the river bottoms, there are a lot of retaining walls put up over the last 150 years -- and then abandoned -- in futile attempts to control the flooding and the movement of all that gravel. I'm afraid the scars will be there for a long, long time. Those parts of the river, while not remote, are only visited by a few people. The gravel is a hundred feet deep, and there's no topsoil, so not much grows there. Those walls are a favorite spot for taggers to practice. When I go down there, I always throw a bunch of their empty spray cans in the back of my pickup and haul them out, but there's no way I can keep up. I drive down along that part of the river every once in a while; it has a kind of ruined beauty -- like a moonscape with water. While I enjoy it for what it is, it always leaves me feeling a little melancholy.
Mark (blackstrat) > December 7, 2008. "Don't you EVER get tired of pointing that thing at me?"
Mark (blackstrat) > December 6, 2008. Like I said, there are still some blossoms among the Fall foliage. This flower is my great-niece Alayna.
